ACF2 AAM: Connection not established to RADIUS Server

Products

• Advanced Authentication Mainframe

Issue/Introduction

MFASTC application is not establishing a connection or listener to RADIUS server

Environment

Release : 2.0

Component : Advanced Authentication Mainframe

Resolution

There can be multiple reasons for RADIUS server connection issue as described below:

1. MFASTC PROC JCL pointing to an older loadlib (yourhlq.CFF7LINK) where the latest maintenance is not applied.    

2. In SMP/E, do a CSI query in your target zone for DDDEF CFF7HFS.  This should be the same target zone whose DDDEF for CFF7LINK was used when updating the STEPLIB in MFASTC.  Note down what is defined in SMP/E for PATH.

3. The contents of the PDS member that STDENV in your MFASTC is pointing to.  Note what MFA_HOME= is pointing to.  

If the two paths from steps 2 and 3 above are different then change the MFA_HOME specification to match what is in SMP/E and retry the test.
